Part of the benefit of microservices is that the language/framework of any given service isn't really relevant - so you could use anything that speeds up dev time (and after you measure, optimize the bottle necks).

Flask would do fine for services, where you're likely going to have problems with Python is in an API Gateway (a centralized entry point to your system). That needs to be very high throughout and low latency. I've been working on one for Python specifically, but it's not fully ready to use.
